TRIFILON BIOLITE
Trifilon Brand
Conventional plastics are made with byproducts from petroleum, natural gas, and coal. That means children’s toys have roots in offshore oil rigs, transport tankers, petroleum refineries, or hydraulic fracturing – industrial procedures that pose the risk of environmental catastrophe. Trifilon’s materials reduce reliance on fossil fuels – in some cases by up to 30%! BioLite® is a family of materials that blend non food competing plant fibers from hemp and Norwegian spruce with thermoplastics to form granulates for injection molding. Consumer products made with BioLite can trace ingredients to sustainable European farms and biodiverse Nordic forests.
